Another day, another needlessly cruel move by the Trump administration. The targets this time are low-income, at-risk youth after the administration announced the sudden closure of the Job Corps program. 

The administration released a statement on May 29 announcing that all Job Corps centers will pause operations by June 30. Job Corps was a federally funded program that provided education, career-oriented skills training, and housing support for low-income, at-risk youth.
